Retroid Pocket 4 Pro | Nintendo 3DS Emulation Test

[@Omar_Little]

Awesome. Great to help decide which games can be actually played in an enjoyable manner on this device.

[@suhtangwong]

Good stuff! Can't wait to get mines. Finally shipped over the weekend!

[@Restalgia]

Congrats man! What color did you end up picking?

[@leandrogtabak]

How much time passed from you purchase until they released it for shipping?

[@GameMaster-qf2ih]

​@@Restalgiacan I request some games for you to test please

[@Ralkila]

The impresive part is that both the NDS and 3ds emulators run better without reescaling the upper screen twice and setting it to lower res while in the side. The rp4pro for sure is a beast for anything below high demanding ps2 & gc, although i'm sure that hacks and setup combinations as well as patches will make those heavy games at least playable.

[@GoogleHelpYou]

Glad to see you firing a shot in Resident Evil Revelation It crashes on any versions newer than Citra Nighty 2030 on my Retroid flip when I fire a shot

[@16bitsorhigher]

Steven, thank you so much for posting these videos. It is really appreciated! Watching this one makes me feel even better about purchasing the Odin 2 Pro. Like I’ve said before I’m a big fan of the RP3+ and when I bought that one I didn’t have any regrets about not going for the Odin Pro because the Odin Pro had glitches and it didn’t run everything but now the Odin 2 Pro does and when Retroid came out with the RP4 Pro I thought that maybe I had jumped the gun but with your videos I realized that going with the Odin 2 Pro was the correct choice. The RP4 Pro is a better device than the RP3+ but you are in the same position, having to look for PAL roms, making sure you have the correct emulator, tinkering with settings a lot to make sure that what you wanna play runs satisfactory.

[@mattwu64]

Great vid, thanks. I've seen other testers get much better performance with 3DS games. Can you do another demo using the Citra MMJ version?

[@Funem]

A lot of issues can be down to the emulator which is still in development and will hopefully get better over time.

[@mikelawrence5438]

The rp3+ does real well with 3ds,from what i can tell ,so the 4 pro should make light work ,its going to get better..

[@adinaastete6744]

Muchas gracias por probar juegos de Monster Hunter, casi ningún youtuber los prueba para ver como funcionan 🤗

[@Restalgia]

No problem!

[@Caolan114]

I don't know If I could focus on a game with a smaller version of the screen and I'd prefer to toggle between the top and bottom screen

[@jessicacarpenter871]

Magically ‼this 🌟💗

[@alexandre-guzu]

I love the layout !

[@veespa_]

You say there are better handhelds out there for 3DS emulation; can you give some examples? I would appreciate it!

[@arielmiranda15]

Anything with a Snapdragon chip would be just fine

[@thelightninglevel1652]

Would love for you to try Kingdom Hearts 3D

[@CC.DeVille]

Too bad about RE Revelations. It's still worth getting for PSP, PS2 and GC though.

[@steamdeckknights8978]

Need a different version than the one you are using 3ds runs better than that

[@ElTopoL0C0]

Wouldn't you get better performance without the second small screen?

[@JayMarqz]

Yea I'm very confused at why he rendered the screen twice.

[@MasterAdamGames24]

because some games might require you to look at the bottom screen on the 3ds@@JayMarqz

[@JayMarqz]

@@MasterAdamGames24 he has the top screen showing twice for no reason. That's probably using more gpu power.

[@OGVuLTz]

Psp/vita: Final fantasy crisis core Persona 4 Golden Naruto ultimate Ninja Heroes (any)

[@castle347]

a little lag is playable in most cases.

[@citizenbrazil]

any issues with monster hunter 4 ultimate?

[@Restalgia]

Some slow downs but seemed to play reasonably well.

[@aleksandramirkov9725]

Can you play switch games

[@Restalgia]

Some switch games do run, but others really struggle

[@MothShyGuy]

do you have to download the games or does it come with them

[@Restalgia]

You need to source your own game backups

[@A_Bottle-Of_Orange_Crush]

Vimms lair.

[@xuimod]

Mediocre performance. Lots of games have severe slowdowns at times.

[@VeeLazer]

Its cool that some of the games ran pretty well, but im for sure glad i have a 3ds handy lol.

[@slipknotmol]

the Best emulador for 3ds is citra mmj

[@pegcity4eva]

Nah canary

[@onepiece_96172]

​@@pegcity4evano it's mmj. Mmj is more optimize

[@BullCraftMaxx]

Too bad it was shut down 😢

[@farhanvamp]

​@@BullCraftMaxx lime3ds is not bad

[@BullCraftMaxx]

@@farhanvampi tried it and I got insane performance drops

[@R3dyDoesStuff]

Are there any other additional settings you used? I used the same emulator and vulkan and my games occasionally stutter

[@IH_Lee]

I wonder why you tested the games with three screens.

[@elflakotex2889]

Excelente video 👍 saludos a todos desde San José del Cabo Baja California Sur México 🇲🇽🇲🇽👏👏

[@pekholtz]

what is the best option for 3ds emulation? specially if you want 2x res and enhanced textures

[@GiBsOnX92]

18:34 One question, I'm having graphic issues playing both Ocarina and Majora on my RP4Pro. The games are playable but but im having issues as some sort of extra moving textures and i can't exactly explain it. found one video on reddit that shows what i mean and the video title is: Anyone knows how to fix these texture problems in OOT ? ( Citra ) Pkease help, Thank you.

[@SirMuddyToast]

Good video, do you have a summary from all these videos on what worked well and what didn't? will you be adding them to the community compatibility sheets if you had the time?

[@zanfear]

Great work as always! Just wondering, can I take my old Nintendo Switch branded micro SD card and use it in these retro handhelds? I'm not sure if I formatted it before on the Switch itself, but if I did, do I just need to connect it to my PC to reformat it, or do retro handhelds do it themselves? It's not like it's tied to the Switch forever, right?

[@Restalgia]

When you plug into the device, the android OS will give you an option to format it

[@zanfear]

@@Restalgia Cool, thanks so much!

[@shigshug8581]

This is impressive!

[@biblouk2171]

Thx for thé tuto and test ! On m'y RP4Pro, same settings than u on citra and pokémon Omega rubi crash all Time ...

[@Omar_Little]

In your vita video please check: gravity rush, Hotline Miami, velocity 2x, steins gate, grim fandango, uncharted, zero escape virtues last reward, Hakuoki Kyoto winds Thanks again. Most of these should run as they're low demand

[@16bitsorhigher]

Honestly, I rather use my Microsoft Duo to play 3DS and DS games to get the best experience and that device runs better than the RP4 Pro.

[@jeisoncarv4937]

What happens now with the 3ds emulation? Cuz now citra dissapeared.. i wanted to get one rp4 for 3ds emulation but it will work without citra?

[@chrisleaf]

So sad that there is better 3DS game comparability but no Atomic Purple 💜 for Retroid 4 Pro 😭

[@woozi36]

Waiting for psp vita vid

[@Restalgia]

Will be this week

[@omarbatiz6062]

Pavita Marvel vs Capcom 3 please

[@phillipphan1394]

Does this come with Cotra or Yuzu? And have recent events changed this? I want to buy one but not without the 3ds emu…

[@Restalgia]

Yuzu and citra have stopped but others have come in and picked up reigns. There is already replacement emus available

[@GuiltySiNz]

Does no one use Performance+ mode, I dont hear the fans, it works wonders for some games that slow down or be choppy

[@Restalgia]

I am running performance mode, but just manually adjusted the fan speed down for the video

[@ksmak7224]

Which citra version you are using? I love the layout, how to set it up?

[@Restalgia]

At the time, I was using the latest nightly build from their website. This layout was one of the presets you can choose.

[@samuelcabokkyt]

13:31 yoshi´s wooly world It’s optimized huh

[@WheatThinner]

wut

[@Dinosaursof]

This performance looks terrible. I’ve had the 3dsxl and the n3ds but just bought the 2ds door stopper a couple months back and it’s by far my favorite.

[@Somebody11]

Is it possible to split screens 50% and 50% each?

[@Restalgia]

Yes you can do that

[@doozeruk2000]

Genuine question... Who was the 3ds aimed at, it seems very child orientated to me and can't imagine many 20+ adults playing it back in the day 🤷‍♂️

[@AndrewStottisTheIndiWerWlf]

I think you'd be surprised how many adults use video games to escape from the seriousness of life.

[@Martinvu89]

Question? Just got mine rp4, where do you download your 3ds roms at? Try to find a site but couldnt find any.

[@renn6699]

That screen orientation is abysmal.
